I am also an avid cyclist but live in So Cal so weather is never a good excuse. But 2 weeks ago I was shipped a backpack (big long backcountry type) to test and review. So for 12 days I would take our dog and hike/walk 2-5 miles with 35-40 lbs on my back. Definitely got easier daily even with morning rides. Alternatives to usual training are almost Always valuable and eventually fun. Thanks for the article!!
